Ectodysplasin A (EDA) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EDA gene. Ectodysplasin A is a transmembrane protein of the TNF family which plays an important role in the development of ectodermal tissues such as the skin in humans.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=1896 )〕 It is recognized by the ectodysplasin A receptor. == Function ==
The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that can be cleaved by furin to produce a secreted form. The encoded protein, which belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family, acts as a homotrimer and may be involved in cell-cell signaling during the development of ectodermal organs. Defects in this gene are a cause of ectodermal dysplasia, anhidrotic, which is also known as X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. Several transcript variants encoding many different isoforms have been found for this gene.〔
